I’m proud to announce that a photo of mine will be printed in the Spring issue of Yes Magazine! Their focus is on sustainability and positive things that are being done and that can be done. Too much in the media these days is negative, and it’s great to have people putting energy into getting all of the good things their fair share of attention.
I’m happy that my photo will be in the magazine for a couple reasons. One is that the photo is of the EV1. I think this car was a game-changer that GM let go. I really think it should have been mass-produced. I also happy that this is a photo above an article by Sherry Boschert. She has been a long-time voice in the EV world and somewhat recently put out a book called “Plug-in Hybrids, The Cars That Will Change America”. It’s worth a read.
I juiced up a bunch of fruit this last weekend and thought the foam looked really interesting. Turns out that under a zoom lens, it looks like some crazy science experiment. Kind of scary stuff to be eating, eh?
I shot a bunch of pictures of one of the cooler cars out there, one which I think holds a lot of historic significance, a GM EV1 (though they would possibly rather none exist in any capacity). They let a few universities get a hold of some to use as test platforms and will only let them run in hybrid orientations, apparently.
This car is mostly functional, and will get some sort of small motorcycle engine tucked in that will kick in on the highway to be able to cruise indefinitely (well, with enough gas that is).
You can see that quite a crowd came out in freezing weather to see this car. I felt like we were having to clandestinely come see the car in an alley.
I don’t know which university this is below, but it feels a bit crazy to be hacking apart 1 of about 40 vehicles in existence. The youtube post says that they have theirs running as a turbojet/electric hybrid.
